A Holbrook police officer attempted to stop Wright for speeding on Weymouth Street in Holbrook about 9:30 p.m., Wednesday when he fled, police said.

Wright led police on a chase into Weymouth, Abington and Brockton before crashing his BMW sedan into a utility pole and a parked car at Intervale and Arthur streets in Brockton.

With the airbags deployed, Wright got out of the car, picked up his daughter “to shield himself from officers” and began to run, Holbrook police said.

He then dropped his daughter on the sidewalk, abandoning her and continued to run before he was pepper-sprayed by Holbrook police officers. After he was pepper-sprayed, he continued to run and was apprehended a short distance later, police said.

There was no car seat in the car for the child, Brockton police Lt. Kenneth LeGrice said.

“At no time were officers aware of the child in the vehicle until the subject emerged with her,” Holbrook police said in a press release. The girl was taken to the hospital as a precaution.

Wright was arraigned in Quincy District Court on Thursday. He was ordered held on $15,000 cash bail and will be due back in court Oct. 3. According to the Quincy District Court clerk’s office, there were no conditions set for Wright if he were to post bail.

Wright currently has an open drug-dealing case in Brockton Superior Court. On April 3, 2012, Wright’s apartment on North Montello Street was raided by the Brockton police gang unit after a monthlong investigation.

In the raid, police seized 40 grams of crack cocaine, estimated at a street value of more than $5,000, and a pound of marijuana, police said.

Wright is due back in court for that case Sept. 24 for a final pretrial conference before his trial, which is set to begin Oct. 8, according to the Brockton Superior Court clerk’s office.

Wednesday’s incident with Wright is similar to a situation that happened in Brockton on Saturday, where police said a mother sideswiped another car while she was driving drunk and kept going down Pearl Street.

Heather Sledzik’s 4-year-old daughter was in the back seat of the car during the accident, sitting next to her car seat, police said. There were no injuries in crash.
